Vega colony

Contents

Vega was first colonised by peoples from Delta III, and around a century later also hosted a smaller Human colony. When the Human colonists first arrived on Vega, many contracted Vegan choriomeningitis, a deadly disease created by the ancient extinct natives of the planet. Unfortunately, the disease was not detected before colonists spread it to other worlds[1], resulting in a widespread outbreak. A vaccine was quickly developed upon its discovery.

In another timeline, where Terra Prime succeeded in creating an isolationist Earth, Vega Colony was a member of the United Earth’s commonwealth. It sat on the outskirts of Earth’s territory, not far from the border with the Interstellar Coalition, a union of Vulcans, Andorians, Tellarites, and Denobulans.
